DaVincilog Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 red datu iv read atlas shrugged. and the fountainhead. both by ayn rand. they are not easy reads but if youre patient and appreciate "think" books then youre gonna like them. on the other hand, if youre in the mood for a thriller, mystery type read, try the rule of four. its really :cool: im also reading (at the same time as rule of four), lemony snickett's 8th book as well as cryptonomicron ... both are quite interesting as well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> meron din palang ibang tao na nagbabasa ng more than one book at the same time. akala ko ako lang. para di OT, whenever i have nothing to read, i always come back to my all time favorite, the catcher in the rye.
